Sending reserved character as URL parameter value

I have to send the parameter value 'AbCd/EfgH' as is. But angular escaping the '/' to %2F. I don't have control over the URL.

What's the best approach to this problem?

I don't want to force angular to stop encoding all other URLs.

$http.get(URL, {
      params: {
        emv_ref: 'AbCd/EfgH',
        email: email
      }
});

Angular URL encodes all parameters, you can't just exclude one from this process. you just need to manually compose URL with necessary parameters. Use convenient $httpParamSerializer service to serialize part of your parameters and append non-encoded to the string of params:

var params = $httpParamSerializer({email: email}) + '&emv_ref=AbCd/EfgH';
$http.get(URL + '?' + params);

Or much cleaner approach would be to use custom paramSerializer function:

$http.get(URL, {
    paramSerializer: function(params) {
        return $httpParamSerializer({email: email}) + '&emv_ref=AbCd/EfgH';
    }
});

.. or like this:

$http.get(URL, {
    params: {
        email: email,
        emv_ref: 'AbCd/EfgH'
    },
    paramSerializer: function(params) {
        var ref = '&emv_ref=' + params.emv_ref;
        delete params.emv_ref;
        return $httpParamSerializer(params) + ref;
    }
});
